[![Project Chat][chat-image]][chat-link]

Pure Rust implementation of the HC-256 Stream Cipher.

Documentation

⚠️ Security Warning: Hazmat!

This crate does not ensure ciphertexts are authentic (i.e. by using a MAC to verify ciphertext integrity), which can lead to serious vulnerabilities if used incorrectly!

No security audits of this crate have ever been performed, and it has not been thoroughly assessed to ensure its operation is constant-time on common CPU architectures.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
